Let's put it in perspective. 36,000 people died of the "regular" flu last year. As of this morning, here's the latest count of swine flu cases from the World Health Organization: " Mexico has reported 506 confirmed human cases of infection, including 19 deaths. The higher number of cases from Mexico in the past 48 hours reflects ongoing testing of previously collected specimens. The United States Government has reported 160 laboratory confirmed human cases, including one death. The following countries have reported laboratory confirmed cases with no deaths - Austria (1), Canada (70), China, Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (1), Costa Rica (1), Denmark (1), France (2), Germany (6), Ireland (1), Israel (3), Netherlands (1), New Zealand (4), Republic of Korea (1), Spain (13), Switzerland (1) and the United Kingdom (15). " With the exception of Mexico, most reported cases of this flu thus far have been mild.<p class="top-comments">Current score: <span class="top-comments-karma" id="karma-211045">0</span> <small>(to vote for this comment, please visit the site)</small></p> Though admittedly I keep feeling my forehead for signs of fever, and I’m glad authorities are being cautious, I don’t think we’ll have much to worry about with the swine flu.
